Humble

Humility is the opposite of pride. Humility means that you have a modest and lower view of yourself, whereas pride exaggerates your stature in your own eyes. It is to think of yourself as higher or more.

Christ Jesus humbled himself. He is our example. He did not run with the rich, but the lowly. He did not party with the popular but the outcast. He even took humility to the way He died. Naked, alone, beaten for crimes He did not commit, mocked, abused, tortured, pierced, crucified. Why? Because He thought of Himself as less than He thought of YOU. He loved YOU and ME and ALL PEOPLE more than Himself. He gave all in humility, thinking of us first before himself. He took what we did deserved to give us what we did not deserve. He is our example.
